collective.contentsections

collective.contentsections provides a block-oriented approach for building websites with Plone 6 Classic, generalizing the 'Full content' view for folders. It structures a Plone site as a hierarchy of pages composed of reusable sections, each containing specific element types like images, files, links, or contacts. This modular design enables junior integrators to create visually appealing and well-organized sites efficiently.

Key Features

• Section-Based Architecture — Pages are built from folderish sections (ImagesSection, LinksSection, etc.) that hold elements of the same type, keeping content structured.
• Specialized Section Types — Includes TextSection (simplified TinyMCE with lead image), HTMLSection (for iframes), CollectionSection (links to collections), and CardsSection (for information blocks).
• Page Content Types — Provides BasicPage, EventPage, and NewsPage to replace default Plone content types with section-based layouts.
• Enhanced Plone Integration — Adds a new default page name 'index', lead images on File/Link types, and a simplified TinyMCE interface profile.
• Demo Distribution — Includes a 'Plone Site (Content Sections)' distribution with example pages for quick setup.

Philosophy

The project follows a KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) philosophy, aiming to make Plone Classic accessible for junior integrators to build beautiful sites in less than a day.
